This has been written about by Steven Yoder in the Appeal (https://theappeal.org/floridas-sex-offender-registry-proves-inescapable/) so it’s a widely known issue. WO, would you step up to take lead on your suggestion that this be raised to the Feds?

Texas 30, I appreciate your inquiries, but FAC is not a law firm or a travel advisor. Shawn Rolfe did a study a few years ago which you might find useful in your research. It can be found here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0887403417742948

please let us know the advantages of being off the registry, if i travel to florida and stay only 2 days in any location and keep traveling, will i need to register anywhere in florida. what would happen if the feds abolish the registry can the states still have their own?
seems to me there not a lot of advantages for being off when traveling in the u.s.

If you VISIT a Florida County for 3 or more days consecutively or in the aggregate during a year you WILL have to register in Florida. A PERMANENT residence is if you remain 3 or more consecutive days in the same place. A TEMPORARY residence is if you remain 3 or more days in the aggregate per year in the same place and a TRANSIENT residence is if you remain in the same county 3 or more days without establishing a permanent or temporary residence.

This applies to visiting, vacation, business, leisure, etc. This applies even if you are OFF the registry in your home state. Once you leave Florida having established a residence, even for visiting, vacation, business, leisure, etc., you will remain on Florida’s registry for LIFE (and even after death). Even if you are not on the registry in Texas anymore and you travel to Florida.

that is what i am asking, you keep mentioning moving, i am not moving just visiting, vacation etc. if i am not on the registry in Texas anymore why would i have to follow any rules if just traveling to any state. it would not make any sense for us to follow the guidelines if we are not on any registry. what then are the advantages of being off the registry?

That’s awesome – I watched his recent video and he is awaiting a written order, so we’re also looking to see what it says. He did write that the asylum was specific to his case. Without discussing his case or putting him in a bad position (he’s listed as “Absconded” from Florida), his was a civil commitment case. The civil commitment cases (which involve indefinite confinement) are a bit different (a lot different) than most of our cases. Your conclusion is a bit misguided, Eugene. Not suggesting this is not GREAT NEWS for him. It absolutely is! Then news just needs to be given with the caveat that the German Court did not say the registry is a human rights violation.

Florida’s registration is FOR LIFE if you were convicted of a specified offense or similar offense in another jurisdiction, UNLESS your obligation to register has been removed pursuant to 943.0435(11).
If you are OFF the registry in Texas and move to Florida having a conviction for an offense (“Has been convicted of committing, or attempting, soliciting, or conspiring to commit, any of the criminal offenses proscribed in the following statutes in this state or similar offenses in another jurisdiction“

if you off the registry, how can any of this pertain to you. why be off the registry at all? the article you sent me to says if you are required to register, not if you have been convicted of. the only advantage is off iml. if i am not registered in any state why would we have to abide by any of in the article. just asking
